LAB 1

Conscious Filmic Self-Description: Self-Censorship and Female Stereotypes.

Guided by Olalla Luque Colmenero and Silvia Soler Gallego (Kaleidoscope Access)

February 20, 2025

Description

Film self-description can be defined as a type of intersemiotic translation, whereby images are translated into words. This process is employed in cinema to enable blind or low-vision individuals to form a mental image of what is occurring on screen. However, as with any element of our society, it is not immune to the influence of machismo, which occasionally finds in audiodescription an ideal space to spread freely.

The present workshop will therefore engage with critical analysis of recent examples of film audiodescriptions, alongside the exploration of the tools and techniques available for audio-description. The texts will be analysed, and participants will engage in conscious audiodescription practices with the aim of combatting stereotypes.

LAB 2

Cinematic Objects: From the Screen to Painting.

Guided by Alejandra Vera, Paulina Silva, and Tatiana Fernández (La Raíz Lab)

April 4-5, 2025

Description

The objective of this workshop is to facilitate an interdisciplinary exploration of the symbolic, narrative and emotional functions of cinematic objects. The theoretical framework will then be applied to a practical exercise involving the creation of a visual representation.

Utilising a dualistic approach encompassing both theoretical and practical elements, participants will engage in a rigorous examination of how objects transcend their utilitarian function to become pivotal elements that define characters, establish the ambiance of eras, incite conflicts, or embody universal themes.
